After the tea, President Xi Jinping and Madame Peng Liyuan visited the National Archives accompanied by President and Mrs. Trump.
President Xi underscored that China and the United States are distinct in many ways, with different histories, cultures, social systems and development paths. But the people of China and the United States are just like each other in aspiring for a better life.
By recognizing and respecting the differences, understanding and learning from each other, focusing on the greatest common ground, lengthening the list of cooperation and properly managing differences, the two countries can achieve steady and long-term development of their relationship.
